Fourth Generation

47. John

Illinois.24 John Thomas
Durham, may not be a son of "John" or "James" William Durham
and Catherine Borders. I placed him because of listings at Rootsweb, but the
1880 Census does not show a son to this family born in 1879. More research is
needed.

In the 1900 Census for Wayne County, Tennessee (Civil District 1 - District 96),
Thomas Durham, age 20 (b. Sept 1879), is listed as "son-in-law" in
the household of Esquire Ray and wife, Mary.

John Thomas Durham, b. 29 Sept 1879 in Kentucky, lists on his World War I Registration
Card that his nearest relative is his son "Willie Durham".
